Winky at Supermiddle...

[hfahrenheit]

Winkys at the back end of his career now and shouldnt be attempting to fight at 160 if you ask me.

Mid 30s and going down almost a stone in weight for your next fight is not a good move.

Winky should stay at 170+ for his final run in the business and be looking at fighting trinidad, dawson and co

Fair enough. Based on how he looked versus Nard, I figured 168 might be a better fit for him.

I just dont honestly see another world title in him to be honest.

Most of the old 154/160 fighters move up to 175 at the back end of their careers as its much easier to make the weight and fighting each other earn themselves decent paydays.

Hopkins-Tarver
Winky-Hopkins
RJJ-Trinidad
Johnson-RJJ

Yeah, I think his lack of power would keep him from being successful at this weight. Maybe not. That's why they fight 'em.

But I agree, no world titles to be sure.

I'll admit I'm biased- I just don't like the guy. If he doesn't have a problem making weight I think he should stay at MW also; his lack of power would get him in trouble in the higher weights (opinion).

the only guys i see giving winky trouble at 168 is kessler, taylor, and maybe froch. they might even be to big for winky, but i wouldnt mind seeing a taylor rematch or a fight with kessler

I think Winky looked a little bit chubby at 170 against Hopkins but he still put up a good fight and argueably won.

Considering Hopkins latest performance at 170 Wright should be given more credit from his fight with Hopkins.

I think he would pose alot of problems for fighters at 168 and i think he could probably beat them all.
